Former contestant Georgia Steel, who quit the show alongside partner Sam Bird last week, got caught up in a controversial situation following her date with Jack Fowler in which she attempted to kiss him on the lips twice despite him being coupled up with her friend Laura Anderson at the time.
Upon the pair's return to the villa, Georgia proceeded to tell Laura that Jack had kissed her causing a huge argument - and Georgia has finally addressed the situation after watching the clip.
“That is not the way I remembered it, I swear to God,” she told Aftersun host Caroline Flack on Sunday (22 July).
Things got awkward when fellow dumped contestant Charlie urged Georgia to apologise to his girlfriend Ellie with whom she came to blows over the situation weeks ago. Georgia ignored his suggestion, stating: “I feel like it didn't go the way I remembered because I'm honest and I would have said it if had I done. I would have liked to see someone in my position handle it in a different way.”
Ellie watched on smirking in the audience, clearly happy for Georgia's disloyalty to have been proven.
Not that any of this matters considering Laura and Jack have both found new partners in the villa in the form of Paul and another contestant named Laura.
Love Island continues on ITV2 nightly at 9pm.
